Who we are

EVN is a robust national network of leaders, experts and policy makers working together to improve U.S. elections. We collaborate across disciplines and opinions toward two inseparable goals: voting is accessible, private, reliable and secure; and elections are transparent, accurate and verifiable. We are computer scientists, election officials, voting activists, political scientists, attorneys, and more. We are rigorously nonpartisan, objective partners and advocates for all who seek maximum voter participation in tandem with privacy, security, transparency and accountability. To ensure strategic growth and maintain a disciplined focus on election verification issues, participation in EVN is by invitation only. As of August 15, 2016, EVN has 185 participants.

“Hardly a day goes by that I don’t learn something important from the discussions on the EVN’s listserv, and the conferences are a powerful reminder of the value of unbiased, yet deeply passionate commitment to a healthy democracy.”
